BODMAS Table:
Let's check each option one by one.
Option 1) -, -, ÷, ×, =
Given: 16 * 17 * 14 * 2 * 3 * 251
After replacing the * signs we get;
⇒ 16 - 17 - 14 ÷ 2 × 3 = 251
⇒ 16 - 17 - 7 × 3 = 251
⇒ 16 - 17 - 21 = 251
⇒ - 22 ≠ 251
⇒ LHS ≠ RHS
Option 2) ×, -, ÷, -, =
Given: 16 * 17 * 14 * 2 * 3 * 251
After replacing the * signs we get;
⇒ 16 × 17 - 14 ÷ 2 - 3 = 251
⇒ 16 × 17 - 7 - 3 = 251
⇒ 272 - 7 - 3 = 251
⇒ 262 ≠ 251
⇒ LHS ≠ RHS
Option 3) ×, -, ÷, ×, =
Given: 16 * 17 * 14 * 2 * 3 * 251
After replacing the * signs we get;
⇒ 16 × 17 - 14 ÷ 2 × 3 = 251
⇒ 16 × 17 - 7 × 3 = 251
⇒ 272 - 21 = 251
⇒ LHS = RHS
Option 4) ×, -, +, ×, =
Given: 16 * 17 * 14 * 2 * 3 * 251
After replacing the * signs we get;
⇒ 16 × 17 - 14 + 2 × 3 = 251
⇒ 272 - 14 + 6 = 251
⇒ 272 - 14 + 6 = 264
⇒ 264 ≠ 251
⇒ LHS ≠ RHS
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".
